You can get out. Every time you can. When you're faced with giant temptations that you think are insurmountable, they're not. There's a door. It's there.
Your entire life is dependent on the decisions you make in those moments of temptation. There's a way out. Every time there is.
'I couldn't help it.'
'It wasn't my fault.'
'My wife/husband made me.'
Blah, blah, blah.
Listen ... every time (and I don't mean to be combative about it) -- but every time ... it's your fault. Every time it is.
The door out was ajar - it was right there - you just chose differently.
Repentance is believing there was a door - a window - a way out - that wasn't selected. It was ignored. Another way was freely chosen. Repentance confesses a wrong choice was made willingly.
And here's the thing: The devil eventually taps out. Resist him and he'll flee from you. Yes, he will. It might take awhile, but he will.
Life's a battle with a lot of rounds. And I do hate to break it to you - but even though the enemy ultimately taps out, he'll be back - just like he was with Jesus. Repeatedly. It's just Round 442. He'll keep on warring until Jesus comes.
But the door of escape is always open. Don't ignore it. Choose wisely.
And be blessed.

I am not sure if this is exactly relevant. Anyway, here goes. When I try to pray I yawn. I can completely be fine all along and not be one whit tired. I know it has to be Satan. So, I pray fervently for God to help me with this. Sometimes it helps...other times it is difficult. At any rate, it doesn't stop me from praying...it's just very frustrating. And it never used to happen before.
Ok...another questionable topic. I saw my dr today. He wants me to exercise. PK, I know you are into this. I hate exercising...I know I have a bad attitude. I am just being truthful. So, I do not want to go to Racine to walk at the mall. However, my Dad had a brilliant idea. Walk at Woodman's. It's huge and nearby. Anyway, it may be in reach. I would have to make a decision. Sorry, this is off topic, but it is a choice.
